The 2025 BMW M 1000 RR seems like a celebration of BMW’s first-ever WSBK title. With more power, a short-stroke throttle, new winglets, and a suite of electronics more comprehensive than ever, the 2025 M 1000 RR looks set to give its competitors a lot to think about.
The new M 1000 RR – abbreviated as M RR – benefits from a significant power increase of the inline-four engine by 4 kW (6 hp) to 160 kW (218 hp) thanks to an extensive package of measures.
Additionally, it features optimized aerodynamics through a newly designed front fairing. The newly constructed M Winglets 3.0, with drastically increased downforce, support even faster lap times on the racetrack. Furthermore, the Flex Frame has been further developed and now includes a new engine mount on the left side.
BMW Motorrad has also made improvements to the control systems. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) now features the new Slide Control function thanks to steering angle sensor technology. This has resulted in a new subdivision of the DTC into Slip Control and Slide Control. The introduction of steering angle sensor technology has also led to the new Brake Slide Assist function of the BMW Race ABS Pro. Combined with the M short-stroke throttle, this results in significantly increased performance and control.
As before, the new M RR is offered in two versions: the M 1000 RR base variant in the primary colour Lightwhite uni and the M 1000 RR M Competition in the primary colour Blackstorm metallic, each combined with graphics in M colours.
